1161396841512087553 Basically reporting what Marçal Lorente's tweet was saying and which I translated in post 4954. That Barça is only willing to make a player exchange without money for Neymar while PSG is interested in Coutinho, Semedo and money. Still far away from an agreement as well. So...

Most PSG fans would tell you that Neymar is the superior player to Mbappé. Similar if not better stats (goals and assists per played minute), the much better individualist, dribbler, creator etc. However Mbappé is almost 7 years younger, a World Cup winner and the most hyped and proven...

Maybe not the most ideal opponent or place to kickstart a league campaign but Barça playing against Athletic at San Mamés is one of those storied rivalries and games that are special. I look forward to seeing the likes of FDJ and Griezmann in action (hopefully Firpo will get some minutes as...

While Zidane has never been a tactical mastermind (wrote that always) I would be cautious to underestimate him to the degree that he is being underestimated in this thread by some users. While I always considered it absurd to rate him as the best manager as the likes of Khaled believed on this...

This guy is the Messi of central midfielders. Call me insane and easily emotional but that performance against Napoli was spectacular and highlighted everything that our midfield has been lacking for years. What a gem of a player and what a signing. Have to give praise to the board for this one...

As you might know most of the rumors during a "mercado de fichajes" are smokescreens or fake rumors or half-truths. In a given rumor there might be a degree of truth in but most often the journalist will "cook a story" to gain clicks and publicity. So by default most rumors are not genuine...

Griezmann has been very good to great in every of his 5 Atlético seasons based on goals, assists, pressing, defensive work, playmaking, attitude and given the defensive and not very flexible system that Simeone has been a blind follower of. I had the misfortune of watching FAR too many Atlético...

It was obvious that he was a special talent but after having watched him for Benfica a few times my inclination (based on most of the hyped up players from the Primeira Liga in recent years and their performances after leaving Portugal and Benficas monopoly in the Portuguese media and their...

The player that will keep giving me nightmares for years to come. I used to call him Denis Suárez' invisible shooting merchant of a brother with 10 times the price tag, wage, hype and sadly 10 times slower as well.:lol: Was already the case before we bought him hence my strong opposition to his...

A follow up to post 4954; I don't think for a second that RM are interested in Neymar. As I see it, from RM's perspective it is only about raising the transfer fee for Barça and to make life more complicated for us. A typical tactic for both giants whenever supposedly chasing the same player...

Wrote back in June on multiple occasions that when every local paper (MD, Sport, L'Esportiu etc.) and radio station is reporting the same thing (Barça being interested in Neymar) on an almost daily basis there is something about this when everyone else did not believe those initial rumors...

Gento is the record holder with 12 La Liga wins. However those wins occurred over a span of 18 season and in another era completely with much, much weaker and lesser (in terms of the number of genuine rivals) rivals for RM than what Barça has faced since Messi's 2004-05 debut season. Not even...

Lucho's younger brother. The mannerism, outfit, look, attitude and even somewhat voice is remarkably similar.:lol: Anyway all the best to Valdés. One of our most underrated players in recent years. Always liked footballers with a strong character as well. Wish Victor all the best. The...

Don't believe the rumors linking the club with those two nobodies from the Bundesliga or a 27 year old and pretty much past it Alaba for one second. Most likely negotiation tactics to pressure Betis. Would be shocking if we did not sign Firpo. There are not a better option out there based on...

Matías Slow Turtle Ass de Ligt will feel right at come with the old lady and the current version of Serie A. Todibo will eat him for breakfast eventually.

I don't want injuries to occur to any footballer but a long-term injury to Neymar would be a blessing in disguise. Would prevent Bartofeo and the other retards from further imploding the club and its future.

Neymar looks very likely to eventually arrive this summer and as a consequence Dembélé will most likely, if not certainly, leave the club. In such a case, despite that being rather unlikely with this board around, I would like to see the board buy Chukwueze as the "new Dembélé". Provided that...

Neymar-Griezmann-Messi should be the default starting lineup in case of Neymar arriving. Suárez should be warming the bench if all 3 are ready. Dembélé will unfortunately be shown the door. Cannot imagine anything else given how crowded our attack would be. Not even talking about the financial...

1151239124797382656 Fantastic indeed. Can easily see Cucurella and Rafinha financing the entire deal or the vast majority of it. EDIT: Really cool with the potentially first (if I am not wrong) Dominican to play for Barça. Beautiful country with some rather beautiful women as well and...
